A half-tonne bull leapt over a barrier and came within touching distance of spectators.

Heart-stopping footage shows the 508kg (80st) beast charging at breakneck speed towards the audience member filming.

A bullfighter can be seen sprinting out of its path as the animal bears down on him.

But instead of pursuing the bullfighter, the huge beast suddenly launches itself over the barrier.

It lands in the narrow alleyway separating the stands from the sand – just inches from the front row, as reported by Need To Know.

The stunned crowd lets out a deafening roar as the bull narrowly avoids crashing into spectators.

The dramatic scenes unfolded during the final bullfight of the 2026 Murcia Bullfighting Fair in Spain on Sunday (20 September).

The bull, named Malacara, weighed 508kg and came from the Los Espartales breeding ranch.

It was born in February 2022.

And incredibly, it wasn’t the animal’s only escape attempt.

According to the Plaza de Toros de Murcia, Malacara cleared the barrier and ended up in the alleyway TWICE during the fight.

Luckily, no injuries were reported, with spectators escaping with little more than a fright.

There have previously been serious incidents involving bulls leaping into spectator areas at events in Spain.

In 2010, around 40 people were injured when a bull jumped into the stands during a festival in Tafalla, Navarra.

A 10-year-old boy was among those seriously hurt.

And in 2025, a spectator reportedly suffered a fractured rib after another bull jumped into the stands during an event in Cadreita, Navarra.

Fatal incidents involving bulls and spectators have also occurred during Spanish street-running festivals.
